Review the shift, not one short trip
Choose a representative sequence of loaded and empty movements between a loading facility and receiving site. Include the queue, loading, travel, discharge and return. The trial should show whether the driver and office can reconstruct the whole sequence, not merely identify one arrival.
A short distance on one leg does not establish a short-haul exception. Have the carrier assess the reporting location, complete day and other applicable conditions. Keep that determination separate from the equipment compatibility check.
Aggregate hauling evaluation worksheet
| Cycle point | Question for the review |
|---|---|
| Loading queue | What duties remain while the driver waits? |
| Loaded trip | Which driver, truck and device record the movement? |
| Discharge | What work occurs after arrival? |
| Empty return | Does the review include the return movement and next cycle? |
Bring the actual truck configuration
Ask Factor ELD to show vehicle selection and log review for the proposed product. The PT30 manual documents those tasks; it does not prove compatibility with every dump-truck engine or mobile device.
Keep scale tickets and material quantities in their own records. Use them as relevant business context where appropriate, without describing the ELD as an aggregate weighing or load-measurement system.
For the broader fleet discussion, see dump trucks. Use the ELD rollout checklist to assign training and review responsibilities, and check ELD applicability for the actual operation.
Aggregate hauling questions
Does a short quarry route automatically qualify for an exception?
No. Review the complete operation against every applicable condition.
Can the ELD replace the scale ticket?
The driver-log scope does not measure delivered aggregate. Keep weighing and material records separately.
